21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins (6f and 5f) from his last five starts and running well on turf too; not beaten far when third of five at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) this month; player if this forecast slower ground is no issue. |

3rd 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on turf last year (as well as once on AW) and he has continued on an upward curve in 2026, winning for the third time this season when making all at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; that was his first success at this trip and there could be more to come at 5f; 6lb rise demands progress though. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW this year, the most recent from a 2lb lower mark at Kempton (6f); creditable third on turf at Leicester (6f, good; 3-1 favourite) last week; how he'll cope with dropping back to 5f (0-4) remains to be seen; isn't discounted. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Unraced here; all three wins have been over about 7f, the latest at Leicester last month; 6f probably explains a lesser show last time and he has a chance judged on peak efforts. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; has been racing at about 7f for well over a year and he's run well in both attempts at that trip here, most recently when sticking his neck out for the win (good) last month; back up 3lb but on a fair mark still and used to have the speed for 6f; of interest. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-2 over C&D in August, off a 2lb lower mark, when again having plenty of use made of him from the same draw as tonight; got upset in the stalls when below par last time and should fare better this time. |
10/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) this year; 2lb rise for second success last month still leaves him 1lb lower than for the first; one for the shortlist. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from ten starts came when making all over C&D in March off a mark 3lb higher than today; mostly struggled since but the return to AW could be a positive. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Moderate handicap debut over 6f but he was seen to better effect when ridden more prominently at Yarmouth (good; second-time tongue-tie) recently, successful on first 7f attempt; back up 4lb; strong contender. |
6/4 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Caught the eye on his debut at Kempton (6f, AW) but he failed to progress in his next two starts and it was the same story on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; needs to take a big step forward from that first start for 112 days now stepping up to 7f. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Down the field in three AW runs, most recently when last of ten at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; still early days and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation on his return; tongue-tie added. |

With a top stable and has a good pedigree but didn't look anything special when midfield in her first two races (6f/7f) and has quite a bit to find with the principals here. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song. |
